Cardiovascular MR images demonstrate identification and quantification of infarcted tissue and MVO with LGE. Green contours = LV epicardial border, red contours = LV endocardial border, orange contours = region of interest in the remote normal myocardium. (a) High signal intensity is seen in the interventricular septum, demonstrating infarcted myocardium. Area of hypointense signal in the infarct zone indicates MVO. (b) Highlighted tissue is defined as myocardium with a signal intensity greater than 2 SDs of remote normal myocardium (ie, infarcted myocardium). (c) Yellow contour defines the infarct zone and includes the area of MVO. (d) Yellow contour delineates the area of MVO.
